Baker 4 Farm

Baker 4 Farm is a Dutch belted cattle breeder in Jena, LA, in LaSalle Parish near Alexandria. Joe D Baker has been working with cattle for many years and follows industry guidelines for herd health, with regular veterinary assessments and genetic screening.

The cattle graze on mixed grass pastures, where daily handling helps them stay calm around people and adapt to varied weather. Animal welfare is a central focus, with clean, shelter-fed environments and a rotational grazing plan that supports soil health. As a family-run operation with roots in traditional farm practices, the farm keeps herd sizes small to ensure personalized attention.

Its commitment to quality care shows in the steady growth and balanced temperament of each calf. It keeps detailed records to track lineage and performance, reflecting the practices recommended by cattle breeders associations. Local soil conservation efforts guide its grazing schedules to protect native grasses and support ecosystem health.
